after everything he has gone through, I feel the least the Army could do is perform surgery on his foot so that he can at least lead some type of normal life. He will never be able to snowboard, skydive or do the rock climbing again which are the things he loves to do.

I think that the funding should be phased down. No question there should be very strong guidelines. There's supposed to be guidelines now. But certainly we need to enforce strong guidelines, and phase down that funding for the NEA.
